Mix a 9.5 with a pile of methane hydrates and..

Waalaaaa.. 1906 all over again .. Or worse.

It’s amazing Mother Nature has already blow’d herself to kingdom comey . or has it?

I hope we’re not on a cruise to Alaska that day.

Umm - it might be FAR worse than 1906:

From the interwebs:

“The release of massive clouds of methane from icy hydrates buried under shallow ocean floors is the leading suspect for the most devastating extinction in the fossil record, according to a new analysis.

Methane best matches the unusual carbon-isotope fingerprints found at the scene of the crime, says Robert Berner of Yale University in Connecticut, US, though it cannot explain atmospheric carbon dioxide levels at the time.

Berner says: “It’s possible that you could have a combination” of effects causing the mass extinction that ended the Permian period, 250 million years ago. The event wiped out the vast majority of marine species and left Europe a near-desert.”
